She never missed anything that&#39;s for sure. <br />I love that you have lists with prices too! That&#39;s a great idea and that&#39;s something I need to do for sure. <br />Being prepared for any natural disaster is key. Isn&#39;t amazing how many people that don&#39;t do that? Organization though is being worked on here. Have a great week too LornaVickie @Vickie's Kitchen and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402367232977896594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-50969543133373139192019-05-05T00:13:10.685-04:002019-05-05T00:13:10.685-04:00Vickie don&#39;t think you are the only one who ma...Vickie don&#39;t think you are the only one who makes lists I do too on every shopping trip and even number the errands :).<br /><br />A very wise older friend of ours says, and I admit it is true, is that we use more paper as we get older to make lists for everything. <br /><br />In fact I have had many comments from fellow female shoppers who have noticed our shopping lists with prices beside it and a total down the bottom (no surprises on totals here), and thought how wonderful is that. Many times this has led to them asking us how to stock their pantries cheaply and why we buy large packets instead of small for the two of us and our reply is it is cheaper per unit price and if we are flooded in we will have food at home too.<br /><br />The wonderful conversations you can have with people in grocery stores is amazing :).<br /><br />Have a great week.<br /><br />Sewingcreations15 (Lorna).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645978386606681617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-90059983732478936802019-05-04T20:01:19.706-04:002019-05-04T20:01:19.706-04:00Vickie well done and that is the way to do it is p...<br /><br />Vickie well done and that is the way to do it is pick up whatever we use and can on special to reduce our grocery expenditure.<br /><br />The meat and other specials we are continuing to find so we decided to stock our meat freezer right up again so we don&#39;t have to buy meat for some time now apart from bacon in the 12th of this month. Being a fair way away from shops here about 30 mins drive each way we combine errands to save on fuel costs.<br /><br />This week we found rump steak on special for $9 kg and bought a small whole small sliced rump instead of $23 a kilo and the same price of minced beef here, and 2kg champagne leg ham on special for $9.99kg instead of $17 kg. We saved all up $68.35 on usual prices.<br />- In groceries we picked up discounted wheat biscuits, grapes, oranges, capsicums and hot dog rolls saving $6.36 on usual prices.<br /><br />Not groceries also but purchased from our medical supplies budget we found on special 1 x 400 ml bottle of 20 vol 6% peroxide, 3 x 200 pk of multivitamins, 2 x 80 pk probiotics and 2 x 40 pk of fabric bandaids saving $35.55 on usual prices. We combined this trip with a my birthday and our anniversary lunch in a larger town too.<br /><br />Hope everyone found great specials this week to top up on :).<br /><br />Sewingcreations15 (Lorna). <br /><br />Lorna,<br />I accidentally deleted your comment...but I copied and pasted it before it went away. <br />We are so close to everything that I would have to make a list everyday if I had to go too far...I&#39;m very forgetful. You did really well in savings on your groceries. That is one thing I need to get rolling on again -medicine supplies. They go very fast.

It has much less storage so we need to eat down the stockpile.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
